Aglaonema commutatum was originally found on the island of Sulawesii. This species is very easy growing, and as an invader has spread to many Asian countries, but also to Central- & South America. The rapid adaptation to different climates also explains the very high variability of leaf coloration, numerous leaf variants are known from Aglaonema commutatum.

In China, but also in the rest of Southeast Asia, the Aglaonema are very popular, they represent happiness and contentment. The white leaves represent positive energy.

Aglaonema and Feng-Shui

• Higher locations promote a better overall distribution of outflowing energy.
• Square pots have a negative influence on ds Chi.
• in the study and living room the plants should be placed in a colourful environment, this promotes the active Yang
• in the bedroom, the plant should be surrounded by smooth elements, so the "ying" calm can come into its own.
